Brooklyn hipsters TV On The Radio have a new album coming out this month, and a dance hit to go along with it.
“Dear Science,” the album, comes out on Sept. 23 in North America. The first single, “Golden Age,” is available on iTunes and amazon.com for download now.
The single sounds like the best the 80s had to offer; the lead vocals of Tunde Adebimpe are the results of cross-pollinating Prince and David Bowie. Have TV On The Radio been listening to too much Beck? Well, yeah, but who hasn’t? And just because they have doesn’t mean that the familiar falsetto vocals, hip-hop drum beats, and claustrophobic synths we’ve come to expect from the quintet is gone. Quite the contrary; they do it even BETTER than Beck.
Advance reviews of “Dear Science” are already calling it a masterpiece, eclipsing even their last effort “Return To Cookie Mountain.” Rolling Stone calls it “excellent” and a “beautiful art-rock symphony.” Wireless Bollinger calls it “breathtaking” and “the band’s most immediate and arresting venture.”
Their 2006 album “Return To Cookie Mountain” was a critical favorite, landing in many critics’ top ten albums of the year. Expect the same for this one…
